Learn how to switch the bank account QuickBooks Payments deposits to.
You can change the bank account QuickBooks deposits payments into every time you process credit card and Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. This bank account is also known as your payments account. You can only use one account at a time to collect payments.
Note: If you change your account after 3 PM PT, we'll deposit your payment(s) to the new account the next business day. If you processed payments before 3 PM PT, we'll put them in your old account.
Accounts you can deposit payments to
QuickBooks can put customer payments into any standard business or personal checking or savings account. You can only put payments into bank accounts based in the United States.
Note: The account must be transactional, which means QuickBooks can put money in and take fees out when needed, without limitations.

QuickBooks can't deposit payments into these types of accounts. These will cause issues, rejections, or delays:
- PayPal
